Chapter 1.2 Problem 37

Question

In Exercise, a vector u and a set S are given. If possible, write u as a linear combination of the vectors in S.

\(\mathbf{u}=\left[\begin{array}{l}
3 \\
8
\end{array}\right], \mathcal{S}=\left\{\left[\begin{array}{l}
1 \\
2
\end{array}\right],\left[\begin{array}{l}
2 \\
3
\end{array}\right],\left[\begin{array}{l}
-2 \\
-5
\end{array}\right]\right\}\)

Solution

Step 1 of 8

\(\left[\begin{array}{l}
3 \\
8
\end{array}\right]=a\left[\begin{array}{l}
1 \\
2
\end{array}\right]+b\left[\begin{array}{l}
2 \\
3
\end{array}\right]+c\left[\begin{array}{l}
-2 \\
-5
\end{array}\right]\)

u has to be a linear combination of the vectors in S
